Summary: Will you cut it out already?!
Review: The "review" below was taken from the page for Michael Cunningham's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel THE HOURS. Mr. Roman, have you *no* sense of decorum?:.... "Wow. The readers really seem to have extreme reactions to this series of novellas. I thought it was extremely well done. In particular, I appreciated the originality of the work. I also really enjoy the novella format. For readers who like this form, I would highly recommend both The Love of a Good Woman by Alice Munro and Fried Calamari by D.M. Roman."

Summary: Fun!!
Review: The best adjective I can come up with for Fried Calamari is that it is a whole lot of fun. It's a quick and entertaining read sure to make you laugh a few times. Great reading for the beach or an airplane ride.

Summary: A delight!!!
Review: This book is a masterpiece. The best romance novel I've ever read. The best book comparing sexes since Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus. A good combination between a should-be world-selling novel and an article from an issue of Playboy. This is a must-read book.

Rating:
Summary: Lousy dialogue
Review: This book should have worked for me... a single thirty year old who's been dating different people in the last year. It was nothing like any of the dates I've been on. It was like what a guy is titillated by, thinking of a blind date.

Rating:
Summary: Insightfully Insightful!
Review: This book was extremely insightful. The most insightful part was chapter 5, the insightful insight. The book is insightyfully insightful withmany insightful sightings. The insightful cover makes leonardo di vinci's insightfulness look as non-insightful as a non-insightful illustrator.

Rating:
Summary: Exceptional pleasure reading!
Review: This is a must read for anyone that is on the dating scene. This is a humorous view of a first date. We've all been there and there a a fine line between putting forth your best face and letting your insecurities get the best of you. Bravo to D.M.Roman.

Summary: Zany, Comical and Unpredictable
Review: This pageturner reads like a cross between 'My Dinner with Andre' and an episode of 'Seinfeld.' It's zany, comical and unpredictable. Just when you think you have the characters figured out, they throw you a curveball. Each character really stumbles as they struggle trying to impress the other, but in the end that is what draws you toward them as you hope that they are drawn to each other. This book is pure entertainment.

Summary: Interesting
Review: Though I was a little unsure of the plot (a first encounter date), I found this novel quite interesting and charming. A very good first novel. The writer did a good job with it.
